Abstract
The present invention relates to a mutant plant Cinnamoyl-CoA Reductase (CCR) protein capable of restoring the yield penalty in plants with lignin traits such as ccr-related deficiencies and methods and uses thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to plants lacking functional wild type CCR protein but having a weak ccr allele resulting in lower lignin amounts and increased saccharification, further accompanied by plant growth restoration of the lignin modification-induced dwarfism.
